Houston-area Catholic and private high schools require entrance exams as a part of the admissions process. The administration of the tests begins in November 2024.
St. Thomas High School is once again offering classes for current eighth grade students in preparation for the Independent School Entrance Exam (ISEE). The classes are coed and open to all students who intend to apply to those schools.
The classes provide tips and strategies, as well as instruction in the content areas tested:
- Reading Comprehension
- Verbal Reasoning
- Quantitative Reasoning
- Mathematics Achievement
Instructors will be Mr. Rod Takacs, a veteran high school teacher and the Director of Student Engagement at St. Thomas High School, as well as Mrs. Camille Hagerty, a former eighth grade teacher at St. Christopher Catholic School and in the Goose Creek and La Porte School Districts.
